🦷✨ What happens during a dental exam? Here’s your step-by-step walkthrough!
👋 1. Welcome & Health Review
We’ll start by going over your medical and dental history. This helps us understand your needs and spot any risk factors.
📸 2. X-Rays (if needed)
X-rays give us a closer look at what’s happening below the surface, like cavities, bone health, or hidden issues we can’t see with the eye.
🔍 3. Thorough Cleaning
Our hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains. Then, we polish your teeth for that smooth, fresh finish. ✨
👀 4. Gum & Oral Tissue Check
We check your gums for signs of inflammation or gum disease and look at your tongue, cheeks, and soft tissues for overall oral health.
🦷 5. Tooth-by-Tooth Exam
The dentist examines each tooth for cavities, cracks, wear, or other concerns.
